Important Information
Omeprazole Capsules IP should be used according to the advice of a qualified healthcare professional. Prolonged use may require medical monitoring because long-term acid suppression can be associated with low magnesium or vitamin B12 levels, bone fractures, and certain gastrointestinal infections. Inform your doctor about other medicines you are taking and any history of liver disease or other medical conditions. Seek medical advice if symptoms persist or if you experience difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight loss, vomiting blood, or black stools.
